Space is a big issue, to subject the person's whole body to the force in the same direction you'd need it to be at least 2x larger around than the tallest person you're going to send through it which AFAIK isn't possible anywhere on the ISS at the moment. BEAM may have had just enough space before it was converted to a cargo module.
